I suppose it is the same with everything, the more popular you get the more negativity you attract. It&#39;s that old mean spirited build them up so you can knock them down thing I think! Thanks for your kind response. You made my day! <br /><br />Thanks to you too Brenda. Your comment made me smile. I MISS BOLOGNA!! Love, LOVE fried bologna sandwiches! I guess I will have to make do with Spam! lolMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-87692221300831427532014-06-17T17:58:21.334+01:002014-06-17T17:58:21.334+01:00Oh my - I wonder what that makes me then because I...Oh my - I wonder what that makes me then because I LOVE Spam. I&#39;ve eaten it all my life and I buy it quite often. It&#39;s really good fried - eeks. I&#39;m a southern girl and we had Spam often when I was growing up mainly because it was cheap I&#39;m sure. But I still love my Spam and I love my bologna also. I hear in Hawaii they serve spam almost everywhere. I&#39;m sorry some people have to be so rude Marie - you don&#39;t deserve it. that makes me so upset I think I&#39;ll just go make meself a Spam sandwich. :)<br />Brenda Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645594441980170427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-68418044292846458222014-06-17T17:53:05.048+01:002014-06-17T17:53:05.048+01:00Hello Marie.

I agree with some of the comments above - people can indeed be plain rude and the anonymity of the internet provides a shelter for some of the mean-spirited people.<br /><br />However, I wonder if perhaps some of the negative feedback is coming from readers in the US? I wonder, because over there they have very strict legal guidelines on disclosure and very specific rules on how you must present a post for which you have received any form of compensation (either monetary or in the form of product). You have to be very clear and public about this there, so perhaps some people from America feel that you&#39;re hiding something (I know you&#39;re not, such a law doesn&#39;t exist here in the UK!)<br /><br />Just a thought, anyway. No excuse at all for rudeness, but perhaps one reason why some may react somewhat negatively? Either way, I appreciate the time you take to post thoughts and recipes and hope the negativity doesn&#39;t put you off!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773526728176079809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-64511224406369728272014-06-17T14:59:22.009+01:002014-06-17T14:59:22.009+01:00Hi Judith, thanks so much for your comment!

In any case, you have all made me feel much, much better! <br /><br />Our day has turned quite overcast and a bit oppressive now.

There are times when I truly wonder why people lash out with such hatred and disregard to others. Those who do are just malicious and they value kindness and compassion in such small measure. I hope that your day has been beautifully exciting as mine has just started (in San Francisco). God&#39;s blessing to you and your dear Todd.<br />Judith<br /><br />PS: I have always enjoyed a grilled cheese and Spam sandwich -- not gourmet, but oh so delicious !!MamaMeowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341321769254222022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-21244255509474461202014-06-17T14:16:51.952+01:002014-06-17T14:16:51.952+01:00MOnique I am always so impressed with how very cre...MOnique I am always so impressed with how very creative people are and amazed at what they come up with!

It will be a big change for us, but she is a nice girl, engaged to be married, non smoker, non drinker and her father is a stake president in Spain. She comes highly recommended, so we are hoping for the best! <br /><br />Yes, Anna, one did come back and apologize and I really appreciated that. All of us are capable of doing things we regret. To be honest her comment didn&#39;t bother me half as much as the one where the gal said that she was counting it as a strike against me! To me that was like a threat. I lived under oppression for so long I don&#39;t really like it very much when people threaten me! That&#39;s not what blogging is all about. <br /><br />I think you are right about today&#39;s society. A completely different kettle of fish than we were! I, too, try to think of the Saviour before I do or say things. I don&#39;t always get it right, but I try to!

I don&#39;t think young folks today were raised the way you and I were.(I am 50 and raised in India and live today not far from where you did once--Limehouse, Ontario. ) If ever we were thought to have been rude, my mother never thought twice before she gave us kids a sound switching on our rear ends. (The PC folks and the pop psychologists were not around those days! Not one of us kids were scarred for life and made each of us a lot kinder and respectful of others!.<br />Secondly, I think the internet affords anonymity. People can pop into your life from whoknowswhere and say the rudest and most unkind, crass, disgusting things and stay safe behind the wall of anonymity.You could run into them at the grocery store and never know. My favorite Bible study teacher taught me not too long ago to be sure that my speech and conduct online should always be as if Jesus Himself were the recipient of it. <br />But to be fair to the person who was so unkind, she does have a teachable spirit, and thankfully did come back and apologise to you. And you were as always so gracious to her. <br />You have yourself a wonderful day, sweet and oh so talented lady.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362270523835221393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-70440825771023872182014-06-17T12:55:57.623+01:002014-06-17T12:55:57.623+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-63985941613358523822014-06-17T12:55:47.158+01:002014-06-17T12:55:47.158+01:00It sounds exciting have some come to stay at your ...It sounds exciting have some come to stay at your house.
